Top to Bottom Groomer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You don’t have to be a bear to get the benefits from using this body groomer. It comes with a shaver type head as well as a trimmer head with adjustable glides that will trim any and every part of your body. I found the shaver head left a smooth finish without irritating my skin and the trimmer assembly’s adjustable glides allowed me to keep my facial and body hair at a more manageable length. The only downside to this trimmer is that to get the shaver and trimmer like features Philips had to do it using two different head assemblies which have to be attached and removed from the base unit. Although this is a simple step it does take some time to get used to how all the parts interconnect. Lastly this is a good trimmer for the body but there are no attachments for trimming ears or noses. This kit comes with the base trimmer, two head assemblies, three glides along with a storage bag, cleaning brush, charging base and cable. The shaver head assembly supports a built-in shaver foil and it has the ability to pivot so you can get a very close cut. The trimmer head assembly has an open top that allows you to attach the trimmer head and the various glides. It does not pivot thus the need for two separate assemblies. Philips does a great job in replacing numerous glide heads with two adjustable ones. No more digging through the razer bag to find the right glide head, now you just rotate the knob to get to your desired length. This makes the job so much easier especially if you want variable lengths. This razer is longer and skinnier than other trimmers I have owned. It is easy to grip and it doesn’t vibrate much in your hand. It is however slightly louder than I expected but it’s not overly distracting. There is a small light near the cutting surface that does add some additional light as well as helps you know exactly where you are trimming. They also include a back extension for trimming the hair on your back but they only recommend using the shaver assembly which may not work for some guys. I found the back extension usable but it’s more of a worse case scenario when you don’t have someone else to help you. The charging base and cable need to be connected to a USB-A type supply. The power connector in the trimmer and in the base station are proprietary so you cannot recharge the trimmer by directly connecting a standard USB-C type cable – you have to use the included cable.

A very good shaver that will handle your fuzz!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nobody likes to shave, especially when it involves shaving your body and the “special spots” on your body. It’s difficult and in some cases, almost dangerous, if you don’t use the right type of shaver. The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 7000 is designed just for this use (I’ll just refer to it as the Philips 7000). The Philips 7000 comes with the main body shaver with a pivoting head called a “2D flexing shaver head”, and along with a more traditional shaver head, comb/guides, bi-directional guides good for certain other body parts, a foldable back attachment so you can shave your back without asking anyone to do it for you! You get the charging stand, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a travel pouch. You’re ready to go. Charging doesn’t take very long and there’s a basic charge at least in the groomer I got. At full charge, you can get up to around 120 minutes of runtime, so more than enough for several shaves. While the unit is rated to be completely showerproof, personally, I never like to use this type of device directly under running water, but instead stand to the side when using it. They do have batteries in them, after all. So far, so good. No water issues. It’s also reasonably quiet for a shaver. The flex head glides easily over major body areas with even a small light to help illuminate the area as well. When using the adapters, you can trip hair length from 0.2 to 7 mm which is helpful, as is the “intimate comb” for the uh-oh areas. The Philips 7000 is also very comfortable to hold. So far so good in terms of not getting nicked or cut. Shaving has been smooth overall. It’s just a matter of learning how to adjust the guides for what you need. The back handle does take some getting used to when using, so give it time and you should get the hang of it. My one complaint would be the charging base; today, I would like to see everyone adopt a standard USB-C type of port/plug for charging so you can just plug it in directly. In the case of this model, it’s a proprietary port and plug, so if you should lose the charger and cable, you’ll have to get another one that’s not standard USB-C. People don’t usually consider a shaver as a major purchase, but when you’re talking about shaving your body and private areas, it’s definitely important. For the asking price, the Philips 7000 is worth the money and will do what you need it to do with little to no worry. Everybody’s body is different and has different shapes and curves to it, but so far I haven’t found any big hiccups when using this to make me worry. I definitely recommend it!

Include better instructions, please
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, not a nick or cut, especially on the ‘balls’ part of my anatomy. I’m also finding that I can get a decent shave out of it. My real problem with it is a lack of adequate instruction to show you how to remove all the accessories and/or place them. I had to take quite a bit of time to figure out the accessories and how they attach.

Great Tool, Clunky Head Management, Horrid Manual!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me come out swinging, and say that the included users manual and the online manual's are horrible. Like a three-year-old planned it out and then a two-year-old executed. I can't remember a single time in any of the hundreds of reviews I have done that I have ever mentiond a manual. Secondly, managing the heads is not intuitive at all. I am not saying it's difficu;t, but it certainly not intuitive... OK, I got that out my system, so here we go... This groomer is called "Body & Balls", and targeted to men. That said, I will keep this as family friendly as possible, and much as a heavyweight fighter, I will do my best to keep it "above the belt" (see what I did there?). So here is the deal, I am a pretty hairy dude. Like without appropriate groomoing, I would like a an early 80's Gym Teacher kind of hairy. So when this thing came up, I was lookong forward to getting it. Inside the box you'll find the head unit, a foil shave head, 2 adjustable combs and an "intamate" comb. You will also have a USB cable, the charger stand, carrying bag,and a nice attachment to reach your back. Again, without going IntO details, but everyhting worked as expected. For sure a multi-use manly grooming device. Two of my favorites are the back attachment. I decided to volentarily go bald when my wife went through 12 rounds of chemo. The back reacher dealio is really nice for managing hair on my back and neck. Another nice featurer is the LED white light on the heads. Helps you see the old skin and what needs trimmed. In all, other than the worthless manual and the less than intuitive head management, it's a great tool that does exactly what it's supposed to and it does it we..

Do the job
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has good ergonomics and works in the shower, although it is quite small; perhaps it should include wider blades for larger areas of the body. The battery life is surprisingly long. Overall, I recommend it.

Gets the job done
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product gets the job done, I like the handle, the feature of the light, etc. Only thing I would do differently would it be the charger. At this point I think they should go with a usb-c to make it universal with other devices. Therefore I’m giving a 4 stars

Not as strong as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased and used only a few times. I thought that the trimmer would be stronger as it seemed that the product was marketed as a specialized product, but was not as a strong trimmer as experienced. If you have longer hair, you might want to use scissors first and then follow up with this product. But, it might be a weaker trimmer because it is used on a sensitive area. Would I recommend this item for continuous maintenance after all areas are trimmed…probably. Definitely not for trimming after several or months after growth.

Good value, good brand
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good as far as results .Disappointed shaver wasn't wrapped or the razor was protected inside the box. Gave the appearance it was used. From what I understand that's how they are in the box.

Awesome wet/dry trimmer for those sensitive areas!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, what I love about this trimmer is the versatility. It definitely can get in those sensitive areas with the included adapter that can help trim areas you can't reach or see easily like your back or other hard to reach areas. The best part is this trimmer can be used in the shower, wet or dry which is amazing. Make sure you have a screen to catch hair though if you use in your shower so you don't clog drains (I wish they would included something like that in these!). It has a nice charge base and other heads with adjustable trim options so you can customize to suit your preference. The only negative which I knocked 1 star off for is the lack of an AC adapter. They give you a USB-A adapter cord which is great if you're traveling or have tons of extra adapters but almost all of my adapters now are USB-C adapters, so I had to go buy one for it to charge on the base in the bathroom. All the extra ones I have are used for devices that also didn't come with adapters so now that it seems everyone is going this route you may find yourself looking for one like I did. That said, it does hold a charge so you could actually use it multiple times before you need to charge it again, so this will really depend on the person. I don't know why Philips couldn't just throw in a cheap USB-A AC adapter as most people probably won't have an adapter in their bathroom and most shavers have their own proprietary adapters anyway Outside of that this thing is awesome, and I'd recommend it! It would be a perfect holiday gift for those guys who may not go outta their way to get one of these.

Great device, wish it had a wider head
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In general I love anything Philips Norelco makes, I've owned many and this just adds to the list. They last, work well and do all that I need them to do. Packaging: To start, packaging is straightforward, the razor itself, attachments, bag and charger. Limited documentation/care information. Use: It's an electric clipper, it does the job it's designed to do, I just feel like for the aim being to use on the body it should have a wider head if it's expected to do the job efficiently. I have a previous model that didn't have the same naming but is still a phillips norelco and came with multiple detachable combs that were designed for different areas of the body and it had a wider head which I found easier to use so really to me this is the only place it falls short. Outside of that it does the job well, easy to use and clean. Overall: It's an electric clipper focused on the body, it gets the job done but has some minor shortcomings. All in all if you're in the market for such a set of clippers it's a worthwhile consideration.

Better for some tasks
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually have multiple trimmers that I use for dealing with body hair in different places. Each one seems to be optimized for one thing that makes it less suitable for the others. For example, a beard trimmer isn't really optimized to give you a clean line around your ears. Phillips attempted to make a more multi-purpose razor here, and if you're only going to get one trimmer, this one does more than most. By swapping the entire head instead of just using different guards on the same trimmer, this one does a better job than most at being dual-purpose. I did find that the guards on the trimmer were a little pointy and scraped my skin more than my previous trimmer. An interesting design feature is that the heads fit on the body of the razor in opposite directions so you can hold the razor and the trimmer in more ergonomic positions. And while both heads have LED lights on them, it was really only useful on the razor. With the trimmer, I was moving too fast in too much light for it to add any value. But with the razor, I was moving more slowly in less well-lighted places. i also found that areas that would get nicked by others razors escaped unscathed with this one. I did catch some skin in one place but did not draw any blood, as I would have with my old razor. Overall, this is very useful but not perfect.
